[lvm-devel] [PATCH 1/3] Add a couple of lvmcache functions to aid in lookups by pvname.

It would be nice to clean up some of the pv handling and move away from
the pv as a standalone object.  To this end, I introduce a couple helper
functions from lvmcache which allow us to lookup a vgname from a pvname
and an info struct from a pvname.  These functions will be used later
in a library function that we will export and will aid in cleaning
up the pv handling.

Note: Inside lvmcache, we cannot handle the case of the PV with no mdas
that is in a VG.  The reason is the lvmcache 'info' only gets updated
by calling higher-level _vg_read() function, which calls
lvmcache_update_vg().  I did not think it was a good design to parse
per-format metadata inside lvmcache, or call vg_read() from inside
lvmcache.  It seems clear to me the proper place for the additional
scanning calls is at an upper layer, which will be the next patch.
